There was a member selling some in smaller quantities recently ... like in 10 or 12 packs. The shipping cost was still fairly high, but less than ordering from Ray.
I'd personally like to explore doing a connector coop possibly, since the shipping is so insane on these.
I've also wondering if the 4 pin would be an option, since they would still work for 3 pins, but would also work with my non-SS RGB items, which are typically 4 wire ... and cost is the same.
